i7-4790K
- For some games, a cpu with a higher clock speed, or in a technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), has better results than other CPU’s with higher core count and lower core speed.
- The i7-4790K has a higher turbo clock boost. Turbo Boost is a CPU feature that will run CPU clock speed faster than its base clock, if certain conditions are present.
It will enable older software that runs on fewer cores, to perform better on newer hardware. Since games are software too, it is also applicable to them.
Ryzen 5 2600
- The Ryzen 5 2600 has higher Level 2 Cache. Data/instructions which have to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR RAM
- The Ryzen 5 2600 has higher Level 3 Cache. This is useful when you have substantial multiprocessing workloads, many computationally intense simultaneous processes. More likely on a server, less on a personally used computer for interactive desktop workloads.
- The Ryzen 5 2600 has more cores. The benefit of having more cores is that the system can handle more threads. Each core can handle a separate stream of data. This architecture greatly increases the performance of a system that is running concurrent applications.
- The Ryzen 5 2600 has more threads. Larger programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to get faster execution.
- The Ryzen 5 2600 is more power efficient and generates less heat.
- The Ryzen 5 2600 has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can toggle on and off, the faster it can do work. And transistors that turn on and off with less energy are more efficient, reducing the operating power, or “dynamic power consumption,” required by a processor.

Introduction
If you are not familiar with Intel’s CPU launch cycles, they operate on a «Tick-Tock» schedule that designates whether a new CPU launch either has a die shrink (with a smaller manufacturing process) or a completely new microarchitecture. Skylake-S is a «Tock» which means that it uses a new microarchitecture which in turn means a different physical socket from the previous generation. Because of the new socket, if you want to use a Skylake-S CPU you will require a new motherboard (with a compatible chipset). At launch, the only chipset available is the Intel Z170 although more models as expected in the future.
Skylake-S introduces a number of changes compared to Haswell that makes it fairly attractive as a platform. Probably the biggest improvement is that both the CPU and Z170 chipset now support DDR4-2133 RAM. DDR4 is still more expensive than DDR3 but it is slightly faster and should allow for twice the density. This means that instead of being limited to 32GB of RAM, with Skylake-S you can now have 64GB of RAM. There are also a number of smaller changes in the Z170 chipset (more information can be found in our Z97 vs Z170: What is the Difference? article) but none are quite as significant as the move to DDR4.
In this article we want to go over the new Core i7 6700K CPU and look at how it is different from the Core i7 4790K. To do this, we will first examine the specifications of Haswell and Skylake-S CPUs in general then run a wide variety of benchmarks to find out what applications benefit from the move to DDR4 RAM and the other architecture changes.
If you do not want to read this entire article, we suggest reading through the CPU Specifications below then skipping to the Conclusion section.
CPU Specifications
Since only the K-series CPUs have been launched so far, there are some gaps in what we officially know about the specifications for all the Skylake-S CPUs. However, we can make a few reasonable assumptions about the non K-series CPUs such as all i5/i7 CPUs having 4 cores and only the i7 CPUs having Hyperthreading support. Other specifications like the TDP (or thermal output) we cannot make a reasonable assumption so we will simply leave those blank for now.
In addition, we are only going to compare the i5 and i7 CPUs. The Core i3 CPUs are simply so different in terms of specs that it is really better to think of them as an entirely different class of CPUs altogether.
Haswell i5/i7 | Skylake-S i5/i7 | |
Socket: | 1150 | 1151 |
Manufacturing Process: | 22nm | 14nm |
Cores: | 4 | 4 |
Hyperthreading: | i7 only | i7 only |
Smart Cache: | 6MB (i5) 8MB (i7) |
6MB (i5) 8MB (i7) |
Bus Type: | DMI 2.0 (5GT/s) | DMI 3.0 (8GT/s) |
Integrated Graphics: | HD Graphics 4600 | HD Graphics 530 |
TDP: | 84 W (Standard i5/i7) 88 W (K-series i5/i7) |
? (Standard i5/i7) 95 W (K-series i5/i7) |
Memory Type: | DDR3/DDR3L 1333/1600 | DDR4 2133 / DDR3L 1600 |
Max Memory: | 32GB | 64GB |
As you can see, there is quite a bit different in the new Skylake-S CPUs. Starting from the top, the major changes are:
- New Socket 1151 — Although the socket name is only one number higher than the Haswell Socket 1150, these two sockets are not cross-compatible. In other words, you cannot use a Haswell CPU in a socket 1151 motherboard or a Skylake-S CPU in a socket 1150 motherboard. However, the heatsink mounting is the same so any socket 1150 (or socket 1155/1156 for that matter) heatsink will work just fine on socket 1151.
- Smaller manufacturing process (14nm) — Technically, the Broadwell CPUs were Intel’s first 14nm CPUs, but Intel only ever released a handful of desktop Broadwell CPUs and they were honestly very underwhelming. However, this does mean that this manufacturing process is already a bit established which should help with both supply and reliability.
- Faster connection between the CPU and motherboard — With Skylake-S, the bus connection between the CPU and motherboard has been improved to DMI 3.
0 which is theoretically about 40% faster than DMI 2.0. While this means that the CPU can communicate with the chipset (and all the USB, LAN, SATA, etc. ports that go through the chipset) faster, the main advantage it brings is simply in being able to put more devices on the chipset without creating a bottleneck. This is the main reason why the Z170 chipset has 20 PCI-E 3.0 lanes versus the 8 PCI-E 2.0 lanes that are on Z97. More information on this is available in our Z97 vs Z170: What is the Difference? article.
- Improved integrated graphics — If you don’t need a discrete video card, the Skylake-S CPUs have much improved onboard graphics compared to Haswell. 530 may be a smaller number than 4600, but we saw more than a 25% increase in 3D performance when using the onboard graphics. In addition, the HD Graphics 530 supports newer feature sets such as DX12.
- Higher TDP for K-series CPUs — While we don’t know yet what the TDP will be for the standard Skylake-S CPUs, we do know that the K-series are rated to need 7W more than the Haswell K-series CPUs.
This higher power draw should result in hotter CPU temperatures, although as we will show later we actually found that Skylake-S CPUs actually run cooler than Haswell CPUs. We have a few theories as to why which you can find in the Thermal Output section of this article.
- DDR4 support — Probably one of the biggest changes in Skylake-S is the addition of DDR4 support. DDR4 memory is slightly faster and uses less power than DDR3, but probably the biggest advantage to DDR4 is that it support twice the capacity (or density) as DDR3. So while both Haswell and Skylake-S can only support four physical sticks of RAM, Skylake-S supports twice the amount of memory as Haswell (64GB vs 32GB).
Test Setup
In order to get an accurate comparison between Haswell and Skylake-S, we decided to test the top CPU from each family. The Core i7 4790K and the Core i7 6700K are very similar in terms of specifications although there are a few small differences:
Core i7 4790K | Core i7-6700K | |
Cores(Threads): | 4(8) | 4(8) |
Base Frequency: | 4.![]() |
4.0 GHz |
Single Core Turbo Frequency: | 4.4 GHz | 4.2 GHz |
All-Core Turbo Frequency: | 4.2 GHz | 4.0 GHz |
Smart Cache: | 8 MB | 8 MB |
Integrated Graphics: | HD Graphics 4600 | Graphics 530 |
TDP: | 88 W | 95 W |
Technically, the Core i7 4790K Haswell CPU is faster in terms of frequency with a maximum Turbo frequency of either 4.4 or 4.2 GHz depending on if you only have a single core or all the cores active. This is only .2 GHz higher than the Core i7 6700K CPU but it is enough that in terms of frequency the i7 4790K should be about 4.5% faster than the i7 6700K. However, the addition of DDR4 support and other small changes to the CPU architecture (such as the smaller manufacturing process and DMI 3.0) may be enough to make the i7 6700K faster than its predecessor.
For the rest of our test systems, we used the following hardware:
This is a pretty standard setup that we use for a lot of our testing and should be great for showing the performance, thermal, and power draw differences between the two CPUs. You will notice, however, that we did not use the freshly launched Windows 10 as our test OS. We actually started our testing on Windows 10, but we saw some very strange performance inconsistencies (which we are attributing to minor software and driver bugs) that made us revert to the older, more established Windows 8.1 operating system.
We will be doing limited testing using the onboard graphics to see how it performs but for the majority of our testing we will be using a GeForce GTX 980. However, we did find that for CPU intensive tasks using onboard graphics did not significantly change the performance, temperature, or power draw of the CPU.
Thermal Output
To start our testing, we decided to see how much hotter (or cooler) the i7 6700K run compared to the i7 4790K. We performed this testing in two ways: once with the CPU fan set to run at 100% and once with it set to Asus’ Standard QFan profile which ramps the fan based on temperature.
Even though the i7 6700K is rated to use more power than the i7 4790K, we saw anywhere from a three to seven degree drop in temperature depending on the benchmark we ran. Honestly, this is exactly the opposite of what we expected. There has been some changes to how power is supplied to the CPU which may be what is causing the lower temperature (such as the majority of the voltage regulation being moved from the CPU onto the motherboard) but no matter the reason this is a great surprise.
Due to the lower temperature, we also saw a small — but measurable — drop in the CPU fan speed when using QFan. It was only a drop of 50-100 RPM, but if you want a silent system like our Serenity or Serenity Pro that small drop in fan speed is actually fairly significant.
Power Draw
Since the i7 6700K runs significantly cooler than the i7 4790K you may expect power draw to be lower as well but we found that not to be the case in all situations. Power draw at idle and during POV-Ray was indeed 4-10 watts lower but Prime95 was actually 2 watts higher. In 3D graphics such as Unigine Heaven, we saw lower power draw when using the GeForce GTX 980, but a very large 15 watt increase when using onboard graphics.
Overall, it appears that Skylake-S has a lower power draw compared to Haswell in most situations unless you are utilizing the onboard graphics. In that case, power draw can be significantly higher during 3D applications.
CPU Performance — Unigine Heaven Pro 4.0
To start our performance comparison we are going to begin with Unigine Heaven Pro. Every game is different so if you are concerned about performance on a specific title you should try to find a benchmark for that title, but we have found Unigine Heaven Pro to be a great indicator of 3D graphical performance.
With a GeForce GTX 980 4GB video card, we saw absolutely no difference in performance between the i7 6700K and the i7 4790K. Most modern games are GPU limited, however, so this does not really mean that neither CPU is better — simply that both CPUs are fast enough to not be the bottleneck in our test system.
When we switched to onboard graphics, however, we saw over a 25% increase in performance. There are a number of different reasons for this, but it is mainly due to the new graphics architecture (HD 530 versus HD 4000) and the move to DDR4 memory. Since onboard graphics uses the system RAM instead of dedicated VRAM like you would find on a video card, using the faster DDR4 RAM results in an increase in onboard graphics performance.
If nothing else, this benchmark shows that onboard graphics is continuing to get better and better. It is still nowhere near the performance of most video cards, but if you were considering purchasing a <$100 video card to pair with Skylake-S you may opt to simply use onboard graphics instead.
CPU Performance — PCMark 8 Professional
PCMark is one of the standard benchmarks that is used in most reviews, but you need to keep in mind that no matter how realistic it tries to be, it is still a synthetic benchmark. With that said, PCMark shows some of the least exciting results from any of our testing. We did still see a small increase in performance with the i7 6700K, but never higher than a tiny .9% increase.
CPU Performance — Geekbench 3
Geekbench 3 is another synthetic benchmark, although it focuses more on CPU-intensive benchmarks rather than full-system benchmarks. Overall, Geekbench 3 showed an increase in performance of almost 5% with the i7 6700K which is fairly good.
For the individual categories, integer performance saw about a 5% increase in performance while floating point performance only saw about a 3% increase. Memory performance, however, saw a huge 22.2% increase due to the move to DDR4 memory. Most applications are not limited by the speed of your memory, however, so don’t expect to see a 20% increase in performance except in rare situations.
One interesting thing we found with Geekbench is that the single core integer and floating point performance of the i7 6700K was actually worse than the i7 4790K. It was not until we looked at the multi core benchmark results that we saw an increase in performance. This suggests that the i7 6700K is not actually any faster than the i7 4790K per clock, but is simply more efficient at multi-threading which results in higher performance in most applications.
CPU Performance — Cinebench R15
Similar to Geekbench, we saw very little increase in performance when only using a single core in CineBench R15. However, even with all the CPU cores active we only say about a 1% increase in performance which is similar to what we saw in PCMark 8. Interestingly, we actually saw about a 1.5% decrease in performance during the OpenGL portion of Cinebench R15. This isn’t a very large decrease but it is outside of what we consider to be our margin of error.
CPU Performance — POV-RAY / Linpack
For the last of our synthetic benchmarks we ran POV-Ray and Linpack. Both of these benchmarks are widely used in the scientific community and are usually very good at showing raw CPU performance.
Starting with POV-RAY we saw a very large 7. 7% increase in performance compared to the i7 4790K. This is a significant increase in performance and is an indicator that ray tracing in general should be much better with the i7 6700K.
Linpack, however, is a bit of an aberration and to be honest we almost didn’t include it because we believe there to be a problem currently between Linpack and Skylake-S. Simply put, we saw a 20% drop in performance with the i7-6700K. We are still investigating why the i7 6700K is giving such low performance (we should be seeing at least 205 GFLOPs, not 173 GFLOPs) but for now all we can say is that the i7 6700K is giving very low performance in Linpack.
Update: A newer version of Linpack (11.3) fixes the low performance we saw in Linpack. Using the newer version we are now seeing a result of ~240 GFLOPs for the 6700K. This makes the 6700K about 12.5% faster than the 4790K rather than 20% slower.
CPU Performance — Lightroom CC
Starting off our real-world benchmarks we tested a number of actions in Lightroom CC 2015. If you read our recent
Adobe Lightroom CC/6 CPU Multi-threading Performance article these actions will be very familiar to you. For importing images, generating smart or 1:1 previews, and converting the images to DNG we saw about a 1.5-2% increase in performance. This isn’t great, but it is still noteworthy. Where the i7-6700K really impressed us was when it came to exporting images where we saw a 15% increase in performance. This seemed way too high at first, but we tested and re-tested it and we are confident that the i7 6700K can indeed export images in Lightroom 15% faster than the i7 4790K.
In addition to basic image handling in Lightroom, we also tested the creation of HDR and panorama images. Neither was quite as exciting as the «Export as JPG» results, but we still saw a 1.7% increase in performance while creating panorama images and a 3.4% increase in performance when creating HDR images.
CPU Performance — Photoshop CC
Photoshop saw some of the largest increases in performance out of all the software we tested. Overall, we saw about a 8.5% increase in performance although the increase for each effect ranged from just .8% (Smart Blur) to 16.7% (Motion Blur). Even simple things like image resizing and rotation saw over a 7% increase in performance.
All-in-all, if you are a heavy Photoshop user Skylake is a very attractive platform. Not only does the i7 6700K have significant performance improvements over the i7 4790K, but the move to DDR4 RAM means that you do not need to use the slower (for Photoshop at least) socket 2011 CPUs if you need more than 32GB of system RAM.
CPU Performance — Premiere Pro CC
Unlike Lightroom and Photoshop where we developed our own benchmark scripts, for Premiere we used the popular PPBM9 benchmark. The only change we made was to run a modified version of the MPEG2 Hardware timeline where we copied and pasted the test clip three times to make the render three times as long.
Overall, the only two places we saw a significant increase in performance was with MPEG2 software encoding and H. 264 encoding. Honestly, you should always be using MPEG2 hardware encoding (which uses the GPU) so the 7% improvement to MPEG2 software encoding doesn’t mean much. The 6% increase in H.264 encoding, however, is very important as H.264 is one of the most popular codecs used today.
Most professional Premiere Pro uses will likely still want to use a socket 2011 CPU due to the higher core counts, but if you are only using Premiere Pro as a hobby or only use it intermittently, the 6% improvement in H.264 encoding time with the i7 6700K is very significant.
Conclusion
To summarize this article, here is what we found in terms of temperature, power draw, and performance of the i7 6700K compared to the i7 4790K:
- Power Draw — in most situations, the i7 6700K uses about 4-10 less watts than the i7 4790K. The main exception is if you are using the onboard graphics — in which case expect a 10-12W increase in power draw
- Temperature — Depending on what you are doing, the i7 6700K should run about 4-7 ºC cooler than the i7-4790K.
Even when using onboard graphics (where we saw a 10W higher system power draw) the i7 6700K was still about 3 ºC cooler than the i7 4790K.
- Performance — In most cases, the performance of the i7 6700K compared to the i7 4790K was either identical or significantly better. We did have a few times that we saw a drop in performance (most noteably a 20% decrease in Linpack) but overall Skylake-S is better than Haswell.
i7 6700K vs i7 4790K Performance Summary | |
Unigine Heaven Pro 4.0 | No change with discrete GPU, >25% faster with onboard graphics. |
PCMark 8 Pro | .5-1% increase in performance. |
Geekbench 3 | 5% increase in multi-core performance. |
Cinebench R15 | 1% increase in CPU performance, 1.![]() |
POV-Ray | 7.7% increase in performance. |
Linpack | 12.5% increase in performance. *Updated using Linpack 11.3 |
Lightroom CC 2015 | 1.5-2% increase in most image handling tasks, but a huge 15% increase in image export performance. ~2-3% increase in HDR/Panorama image creation performance. |
Photoshop CC 2015 | 8.5% increase in overall performance. Varies anywhere from .8% to 16.7% depending on the effect. |
Premiere Pro CC 2015 | 6% increase in H.264 encoding performance, marginal increase in MPEG2 encoding performance. |
In most situations, the i7 6700K should be anywhere from 1% to 10% faster than the i7 4790K. We saw some of the most significant performance improvements in Lightroom and Photoshop. Most of the Lightroom actions we tested saw a small 1.5-3% increase in performance, but the 15% increase in performance when exporting images is very significant. In Photoshop, some of the effects we tested saw even greater performance improvements — up to 16.7 percent! Even better, the move to DDR4 RAM means that you do not need to use the slower (for Photoshop at least) socket 2011 CPUs if you need more than 32GB of system RAM since the Skylake-S platform supports up to 64GB of RAM.
Overall, Skylake-S as a platform is very, very good. Most of the specification changes are pretty subtle (with the exception of the move to DDR4) but we were impressed with the lower power draw and temperature of the i7 6700K compared to the i7 4790K. Unless you are a professional Photoshop or Lightroom user, the performance improvements likely won’t merit upgrading from Haswell to Skylake-S, but if you are in the market for a new system we see little reason to not use Skylake-S.
Probably the worst thing about Skylake-S is that Intel only has two CPUs (the high-end unlocked i5 6600K and i7 6700K) and one chipset (Z170) available at launch. That is expected to change in the near future but if you want to be an early adopter your choices will be limited to only the high-end options.

Ryzen 5 2600
- Ryzen 5 2600 has a higher level 2 cache. The data/instructions that need to be processed can be loaded from the fast L2 and the CPU does not have to wait for the very slow DDR
- RAM Ryzen 5 2600 has a higher level 3 cache. This is useful when you have significant multi-processor workloads, many computational processes at the same time. Rather on a server rather than a personal computer for interactive workloads.
- Ryzen 5 2600 has more cores. The advantage of having more cores is that the system can handle more threads. Each core can process a separate data stream. This architecture greatly improves the performance of a system running parallel applications.
- Ryzen 5 2600 has more themes. Large programs are divided into threads (small sections) so that the processor can execute them simultaneously to speed up execution.
- Ryzen 5 2600 The Ryzen 5 2600 is more energy efficient and generates less heat.
- Ryzen 5 2600 The Ryzen 5 2600 has a smaller process size. The faster a transistor can turn on and off, the faster it can work. And transistors that turn on and off with less power are more efficient, reducing the operating power or «dynamic power» required by the processor.
i7-4790
- In some games, a processor with a higher clock speed, or with the technical name IPC (Instructions per clock), performs better than other processors with more cores and a lower core frequency.
- The i7-4790 has a higher turbo clock. Turbo Boost is a processor feature that will run at a processor clock speed faster than its base clock speed if certain conditions are present. This will allow older software that runs on fewer cores to run better on newer hardware.
Since games are also software, they are also applicable.

Testing Ryzen 5 1600/2600/2600X and Ryzen 7 2700/2700X Processors vs New AMD and Intel
Models
Testing low-cost quad-core AMD Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 3 3300X
processors While testing the new Ryzen 3 processors in May, we mentioned that the expansion of the new generation of processors began a year ago actually outside the mainstream segment — the youngest was the Ryzen 5 3600 with a recommended price of $199, i. e., on the verge of the usual framework. And in many respects this was done in order not to interfere with the sale of stocks of processors of previous generations. And the Ryzen 5 2600 continued to ship at all until the end of 2019 — and was in considerable demand. As well as its cheaper «colleagues», the good idea to purchase as many as eight (albeit old) cores for the price of only six (albeit new ones) found many adherents. The six-core «old» models were out of competition.
They are still on sale. Are they worth attention? The question is subjective. We can also test these models according to the current testing methodology — and compare with the new products not only from AMD, but also from Intel. You never know — suddenly the old horse not only does not spoil the furrow, but also plows deep.

The main characters are the four 2000 series, to which we have added the slowest six-core first generation. In combination, it is the slowest Ryzen 5 with six cores at all — while the 2600X is the fastest until last year. And the two Ryzen 7s don’t need any special introduction either.

The main «opponents» of this five will be the four of their successors. We need the Ryzen 7 3800X to evaluate the «clean» progress — eight versus eight. Moreover, during this time a change appeared for him, but we did not test the 3800XT on the board with the X470 chipset (for a similar reason, the popular Ryzen 7 3700X also “disappears”), but all the rest — yes. So a perfect equal comparison.
As for the rest of the trio, these are the junior models in their lines. Ryzen 3 3100 and Ryzen 5 3500 do not have the lowest cost among the new products, as they are able to utilize any marriage. And the Ryzen 5 3600 is the current bestseller, able to compete on equal terms with the entire Ryzen 2000 family. What we already know — but it’s worth checking the situation after the software update.

The three modern Intel models do not match AMD’s solutions too much in terms of prices, but there are six and eight cores — approximately corresponding to the same Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 7 3800X in terms of performance. And also the new-old Core i5-10400: the youngest in the line for the LGA1200 and using only the old six-core crystals, similar to Coffee Lake in 2017. The main thing from a consumer point of view, however, is not this — but prices: 10400 and its brother with a blocked GPU 10400F are actually the cheapest six-core processors for the new platform. Recommended prices are generally in the region of $150-$180, real retail prices are currently noticeably higher — but much lower than those of the 10600K and are already comparable to the Ryzen 5 3600 and Ryzen 7 2700X. As the process ends, the «cream skimming» should drop closer to the recommended ones, but we can prepare for this now.

But most of the time, the first and second Ryzen had to compete with the processors for the LGA1151 «second version», so let’s add such a trio. Let’s take the Core i5-8500 as the lower limit — it’s a little slower than the 9400, but it appeared back in the days of the Ryzen 5 1600. In general, it’s also useful.
Test Method
Methodology for testing computer systems of the 2020 sample
The testing methodology is described in detail in a separate article, and the results of all tests are available in a separate table in Microsoft Excel format. Directly in the articles, we use the processed results: normalized with respect to the reference system (Intel Core i5-9600K with 16 GB of memory, an AMD Radeon Vega 56 video card and a SATA SSD — in today’s article it is directly involved) and grouped by computer application areas. Accordingly, all diagrams related to applications have dimensionless scores — so more is always better. And starting from this year, we are finally transferring game tests to an optional status (the reasons for which are discussed in detail in the description of the test methodology), so that only specialized materials will be available for them. In the main lineup there are only a couple of «processor-dependent» games in low resolution and medium quality — synthetic, of course, but conditions close to reality for testing processors are not suitable, since nothing depends on them in such conditions.
iXBT Application Benchmark 2020
A group of applications with good multithreading utilization — but, nevertheless, Ryzen 5 1600 (6C / 12T) turned out to be almost equal not only to Core i5-8500 (6C / 6T), but also to Ryzen 3 3100 ( 4C/8T) and the 2600 is a bit behind the 3500! What has been said more than once — in the overall result, not only the quantity, but also the quality of the cores plays. In the case of Ryzen, it is the last parameter that primarily distinguishes the 3000 family from the previous ones. In turn, the «previous» practically do not differ — within the limits of quantitative differences. Well, then — everything is simple: the once top-end Ryzen 7 2700X in terms of performance corresponds only to the Ryzen 5 3600 — or Core i5-10600K. The competition with Intel, however, is normal — after all, here AMD has always been ahead of the curve, so the same 1600 for the first time «butted» with the Core i5 for the «first version» LGA1151 — just quad-core without Hyper-Threading. Now everything seems to be worse — so the old processors have fallen in price considerably, and the new Intel solutions are still sold at inflated (even compared to the recommended) prices. But the progress in the «own» family is indicative — to compete with the «new» processors, the «old» ones need an extra pair of cores. Otherwise, nothing will work. It is clear that this is not a reason to change the Ryzen 7 of the old series to the new Ryzen 5 — but if it’s too tight, then you can already ask the price of the new Ryzen 7. Or even Ryzen 9without changing the motherboard.
What’s funny, in this group of applications, the «oldies» look more cheerful. So far, in any case, and nothing fundamentally changes: just the top Ryzen 7 somehow managed to break away from the new Core i5 and Ryzen 5, and the slowest of the modern processors we took could not keep up with the Ryzen 5 1600. But it’s clear why — here the physical cores are more weighty than in the previous group. And «quality» is more difficult to kill quantity. Although, we won’t be surprised if this happens over time — it’s enough to improve the optimization for new processors and instructions like AVX2. In the meantime, these programs are more conservative — «very old», but multi-core server processors are also actively used for 3D rendering, so programmers have no incentive to lean too heavily on new technologies.
Back to normal , first. Secondly, in these programs, optimization for the new Ryzen still leaves much to be desired. But again, only the older Ryzen 7 2700X can show something worthwhile — it is at least faster than the Ryzen 5 3600 and Core i5-10400. At what cost this is achieved — we will see in the next part. As for slower models… it’s easy to see that the number of cores is not so important here, but their quality. And intensive, and even extensive — such as clock frequencies.
The case when single-threaded performance generally «steers». And the revolution that happened a year ago is clearly visible — the first Ryzen always acted as boys to beat for Core (even having a head start in the number of cores / computation threads), and the 3000 family took the lead. The roles have changed radically. Moreover, which is also important, you do not need an overly expensive processor to work with photos. But the first two Ryzen lines are not needed by almost regardless of price.
Simple integer code that spreads nicely across independent threads. And once again it is clear that even in such cases, the quality of the nuclei is no less important than their number. The new six from AMD and Intel turn out to be no worse than the eight — «old» AMD or «cut down» (by truncating Hyper-Threading) Intel.
Another similar case, but with its own nuances. Many copies have been broken on the topic that the chiplet design of the new AMD processors is harmful in tasks of this kind, since the memory controller becomes external to the cores — however, this is true only when compared with Core. And even then — at the time of release it did not interfere, because there were enough stocks of other dope to compete with the «ninth» generation. And most importantly, the old Ryzen are even worse in this regard. Therefore, we again see how the budget 3100 directly fights with the six-core Ryzen 5, and the «full» 3600 to smithereens and in half smashes the entire old line.
Again, the situation when optimization for new microarchitectures leaves (so far) much to be desired, and physical cores are very weighty. But once again, this allows old solutions to look good only considering the prices. They have fulfilled their task of «holding out» until the 3000th family — and they can leave.
The general verdict is logical — the old eight-cores are at best equivalent to the new six-cores. So even at the same price, they look like a dubious choice — as software optimization improves, their situation will only get worse. But the six-core Ryzen 5 is interesting to some extent — they are cheap and cover a hole in the wallpaper … more precisely, the gap between the Ryzen 5 3600 and the new Ryzen 3. What is important enough — since, as we can see, Intel targeted this weak spot: the Core i5-10400 (and especially the 10400F without a video core) fill it perfectly both in price and performance. The Ryzen 5 3500/3500X held back the old Core i5s well, but they can’t match the new ones. Therefore, the company will have to solve this problem. Which is technically easy — you just need to slightly drop the prices for the same Ryzen 5 3600. Fortunately, this process has begun slowly: the 3600X has been replaced by 3600XT, which means that the 3600X can drop to $ 200, and the usual 3600 — and lower. After that, everyone will be able to completely forget about the old processors, except for those who already have them.
Power Consumption and Energy Efficiency
We’ve seen more than once how the 2700X far outperformed its «no suffix» sibling, and now it’s clear why. Indeed, AMD tried so hard to add speed to the top processor in the line that they even had to increase the TDP a little from 95 to 105 watts. As a result, of the test participants, it corresponds only to the Core i7-10700K — much faster. And the Ryzen 7 3700X/3800X/3800XT is both faster and more economical — the new process technology allows the company to achieve this at the same time. Intel is faced with a choice — you can make a fast processor, economical — too (which the i5-10400 perfectly shows), but you have to choose. In general, it is clearly seen that the power consumption of the processors of both companies is increasing with each round of competition. But this is not news — and earlier in history it has always been like this: as soon as the struggle begins, productivity immediately increases — and power consumption too.
But if the process goes “as it should”, then productivity increases faster – so energy efficiency also increases. At the current stage, AMD’s success in this regard is more impressive … Although, to be honest, the Core i5-10400 surprised us a bit. Considering that this is actually still a clean Coffee Lake sample of 2017, the question arises — was it impossible right away like this? 🙂
Games
As already mentioned in the description of the methodology, it makes no sense to keep the «classic approach» to testing gaming performance — since video cards have long been determining not only it, but also significantly affect the cost of the system, you need to «dance» exclusively from them. And from the games themselves — too: in modern conditions, fixing a game set for a long time does not make sense, since literally everything can change with the next update. But we will carry out a brief test in (albeit) relatively synthetic conditions — using a couple of games in the «processor-dependent» mode.
Nothing new, though. You can continue to argue about whether Ryzen is “pulled” in games against Core or not — but this only applies to “third” Ryzen and “eighth-tenth” Core. Zen and Zen + … Everything is clear: even the modest Ryzen 3 3100 is the fastest. Even in Formula One, greedy for computational flows, where the new four cores are inferior to the new six or eight, the old ones cannot take the same amount here.
Of course, this does not mean that the first and second generations of Ryzen are unsuitable for games — in fact, in real conditions, everything always rests on the video card. It’s just that if you seriously focus on gaming applications, assembling an inexpensive computer, then it’s better that way. And so that there are no compromises — reach out to 3600. It’s not worth hoping that six or eight cores of the previous generation will be «stretched» in quantity.
Total
In general, the Moor has done his job — the Moor can leave. The first generation of Ryzen revived AMD — not without bumps, but competition has returned to the market not only in the budget segment. The second turned out to be transitional — gaining time to fine-tune Zen2. And after devices based on the new microarchitecture began to be delivered to the market in mass quantities, it became possible to release the “oldies” into retirement. Especially after the release of the new Ryzen 3 this year, which shook up the budget segment perfectly. True, the «gap» between the lines is too large — and the «semi-legal» Ryzen 5 3500/3500X no longer rectify the situation, so you just need to lower prices. Moreover, we repeat, Intel also found the weaknesses of a competitor — launching several processors of the Core i3 and i5 lines into this gap at once. The younger Core i5, which debuted today in our tests, is also certainly good. Especially when paired with an inexpensive board — the benefit of overclocking it will not work even if desired. But, we repeat, technically now the fight on equal terms is impossible — after all, AMD already has a new technical process, and Intel continues to “squeeze” the last juices out of 14 nm for more than five years. These juices turned out to be much more than expected, but it would be time to show something new. 90T BEPhenom II X6 1075TPhenom II X6 1065TPhenom II X6 1055TPhenom II X6 1045TPhenom II X6
